Exhibition Opening "persona. fragments of identity", 05.09.2026, 6-9 pm @ THE HALL

Where does one person end and another begin?

The exhibition brings together works by Odie Lap Chun Chow, Edith Karlson, Jakob Lena Knebl, Yein Lee, and Paulina Semkowicz, exploring identity as something fluid, constructed, performed, and constantly transformed.

Set within a silver grid stage, THE HALL becomes a space of ambiguity, part exhibition, part theatre, where sculptures appear as actors, bodies, and provisional personas.

‍

Odie Lap Chun Chow is an artist in residence at PART from August to September. Edith Karlson will be an artist in residence from December 2026 to January 2027.
